Näituse keskne idee on puudumise tähenduslikkus. Kunstnikud on vaatluse alla võtnud tegevuse jäljed ruumis. Muljeid esitavad meediumid ja materjalid.

Riin Maide ja Nele Tiidelepp on näituseks inspiratsiooni saanud näitlejaks õppijate ühest esimesest harjutusest – etüüd kujutletava esemega. Stseeni, mille temaatika on tavaliselt pärit igapäevaelust, harjutatakse võimalikult täpselt ja korduvalt, et eelnenud tegelikkusele vastavus säiliks ka siis, kui esemed on eemaldatud. Oma näitusel on nad etüüdist välja jätnud etendajad. Kõnelema jäävad ruum ja esemed (mis võimalikult täpselt püüavad jäljendada etendajate kohalolu).

Kunstnikud lisavad: „Meie praktikais on kesksel kohal igapäevased kogemused ja nende tõlkimine erinevatesse väljendusvahenditesse. Tegevuse jäljed või nende puudumise tähenduslikkus on vaheldumisi loetavad nii helilises, vormilises kui tekstilises ruumis. Soundtrack reede öösel vana bemmiga Riia mäest alla sõitmisele; reisikirjad kõige kaugemast kohast, kuhu on võimalik minna Euroopast lahkumata ja üks makett majast, millest enda teadmata on välja kasvatud – kehastavad kirkaid hetki läbi oma spetsiifika.“

Tunnistada millegi kadumist, on ikkagi väita, et see võiks olla olemas.

The central idea of the exhibition is the meaningfulness of absence. The artists have observed the traces of activity in the space. Impressions are presented by media and materials.

Riin Maide and Nele Tiidelepp have been inspired by one of the first exercises of those learning to become actors: an etude with an imaginary object. The scene, the subject of which is usually taken from everyday life, is rehearsed as accurately and repeatedly as possible, so that correspondence to the previous reality is preserved even when the objects are removed. In their exhibition, they have left out the performers from the etude. The space and the objects (which try to imitate the presence of the performers as accurately as possible) are left to speak.

The artists add: “Our practice is focused on everyday experiences and their translation into various means of expression. Traces of activity or the meaningfulness of their absence can be alternately read in the sonic, formal and textual space. The soundtrack to driving down the Riga hill in an old BMW on a Friday night; travelogues from the farthest place you can go without leaving Europe and a model of the house you have grown out of without knowing it. These embody bright moments through their specific qualities.”

To acknowledge the disappearance of something is still to say that it could exist.
